Bellibolt (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Bellibolt appears to be based on a frog, perhaps specifically the {{wp|Physalaemus nattereri|Cuyaba dwarf frog}}, which has large "false eyes" on its rear that can emit a poisonous secretion when threatened. Its false eyes also resemble the {{wp|Tympanum (anatomy)|tympanum}} found on frogs and toads. The connection between frogs and electricity may be inspired by experiments in researching {{wp|galvanism}}, which used frog legs. Bellibolt's belly-button dynamo may be inspired by a {{wp|plasma globe}}. Bellibolt also resembles a generic Japanese mascot or plushy toy.
